Six sisters stuff

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper
• 1 cup honey
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (could also use olive oil or canola oil)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional - doesn't really add heat, just adds more flavor)

Instructions
1 Place your chicken in the bottom of the Instant Pot.
2 In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, garlic and pepper flakes. Pour over chicken and put your Instant Pot Lid on and seal.
3 Cook on the Meat setting for 20 minutes and then quick release once the 20 minutes is up. Remove chicken from pot, leave sauce.
4 Dissolve 4 teaspoons of cornstarch in 6 tablespoons of water in a small bowl and pour into your Instant Pot. Stir to combine with sauce. Push the Saute button and cook sauce for about 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
5 Cut the chicken into bite size pieces, then return to pot and toss with sauce before serving. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over rice or noodles.
6 You can also sprinkle more red pepper flakes on top if you want more heat.
7 I removed my Honey Sesame Chicken from the Instant Pot and put in a bowl and cooked my rice in my Instant Pot.
8 To make rice in your Instant Pot you need to have the same ratio rice as you do water.
9 I used 2 cups of Brown Jasmine Rice.
10 To make it: Rinse and drain 2 cups of rice and dump it into your Instant Pot. Add 2 cups of water. Seal your instant pot with the lid and push the Rice button. It will cook for 10 minutes then quick release. You will have PERFECT rice!
